Is HBO the best thing in the history of the world ever?
Can you even name a show from HBO that you don't like?
What's your favorite HBO show and what are you looking the most forward to seeing?

I have to check out True Detective, tonight at 9 EST. I'll save the season premiere of Shameless for the 11 pm replay or tomorrow On Demand.

I'm a straight male and I'm kinda looking forward to watching the new season of Girls.  |

I've had it for almost 6 months now (free with my cable package), & I love Boardwalk Empire. I was also a big fan of the Sopranos. I would like to try Game of Thrones, but they don't have it on demand, & I don't want to just randomly jump into any season.

Seems like Sky Atlantic is UK's version of HBO, has pretty much all their shows

I don't love all their shows but there are some great ones. Entourage, Life and Times of Tim, Bored to Death, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Eastbound and Down, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Game of Thrones. Curb is probably my favorite.

I tried True Blood but couldn't get into it, I find it hard to watch a show where the lead character is as annoying as Sookie is. I also watched the entire first season of Game of Thrones waiting for something to happen but it never did and I lost interest.

I finally caved in and subscribed to HBO last year because of all the great TV I was missing. I certainly don't regret it.
I currently watch The Newsroom, Game of Thrones, Girls, True Blood, Hello Ladies, and plan to start True Detective.
I've also got several shows I want to watch on HBO Go.

Yeah, for us UKers Sky Atlantic has an exclusive deal with HBO.
My favourites are Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, Curb, The Sopranos, Girls, Veep, Hello Ladies and we get True Detective in the UK in a couple of weeks.
Also, for what it's worth (I know it's a Cinemax thing) but I thought Banshee was very, very good, also.

I honestly just haven't gotten into many of the HBO dramas in the past, but I'm enjoying True Detective so far. Great concept.

Its strange we get Sky Atlantic in Ireland too BUT Irish TV always had the HBO shows as well. There does seem to be some things that are exclusive to Atlantic though. Boardwalk and Games for example.

To me, I know HBO as the network behind Curb which is like easily one of if not my favourite comedy show of all time.
Life and Times of Tim was was also an underrated gem (at least over here, nobody has heard of it). Amazing show.
I quite recently binged Girls and I love it. All things considered it is probably the most relatable tv show I've ever seen.
Sopranos and GOT are great, didn't wow me like I felt they were supposed to. Still haven't watched the third season of GOT.

Haven't had it in over a decade (Besides for free trials from my cable provider) but I enjoyed it. The movies are usually decent, the boxing is usually entertaining, and I enjoyed Band of Brothers and Sopranos.

They never finished the amazing show that was Deadwood so i hate them for that! But the Sopranos and Six Feet Under were two faves of mine and ill have to thank HBO for those shows.

Old school HBO was the best!!
Dream On
Kids In The Hall
Tales From The Crypt
Encyclopedia
Def Comedy Jam
One Night Stand
Comic Relief
Plus they always had all the best movies on, real classics!! And the late night 'skin-a-max' type of movies were great too, as a teenager ;-)
HBO today is not even a shell of its former self!!
